Tyson Fury Vs. Oleksandr Usyk: Will The Injury Fairy Strike Again?

Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed heavyweight championship fight is two months away on May 18th, but fans are doubtful that the Gypsy King will make it to that date without suffering another injury, resulting in another postponement of this fight. Some fans feel Fury is just flat-out scared of Usyk and what he’ll do to his career when they meet. Another injury-related postponement by Fury would be a disaster for the Saudis, who are paying both heavyweights massive money for their May 18th clash. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has guaranteed both fighters a $10 million penalty if one pulls out. Even with that penalty, it’s just a drop in the bucket for the incredibly wealthy Fury’s massive fortune. He’s the equivalent of the John D. Rockefeller of boxing. Injury? Or Fear Factor? Unfortunately, there’s still a lot of doubt about what happened with WBC heavyweight champion Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) for the original February 17th date of his fight with Usyk, coming up what many view as a convenient cut over his right eye.
